Centering Importance

Depends on what you're grading it for.  It's not a high value card even if it gets a perfect grade, which is normal for cards from this era outside of a few cases.   This card would likely be worth less than the cost to grade unless you're sending in at the bulk rate of $12 (and then it would be close in a 10).

If it's for your personal collection, don't let it stop you.  Nothing wrong with getting it authenticated and encased for presentation, but for the majority of cards made between about 1987-1998 unless you're confident it's an absolute 10 there's not much value in grading.

Im new to Card Grading here fellas, just looking for some professional opinions. Is this card too far off center to even warrant getting graded?

I wouldn't get that graded, unless a Tiffany... even then, I might say no.

Usually, unless the card is rare or is known for poor centering, I avoid grading things worse than 55/45.

Edit: Dominic, think of it this way, centering is something most anyone can tell is off or not. So, by ignoring centering, you're capping your potential grade at a lower spot. The next thing you can tell pretty easily is edge chipping. This is followed by corners. If all of those are strong, then I would submit, unless there are visible creases, scratches, or fingernail marks.

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback this info helps me a lot. It kinda confirmed what I already thought. Seems like anything from the late 80s to the mid 90s is not really worth grading unless its 1 of those rare gems.

not true there is a ton of value in cards from that era just gotta know the right cards, check out Lets talk Wax youtube channel he does latest sales of 80's n 90's cards
